The vanilla seas make my game run much faster!

[madmatg]

thanks for providing them!

my game runs much smoother and less ctd's ever since i installed the vanilla seas, will have to upgrade before addign them back :D as my comp is too slow

[Digby Tatham Warter]

There should be no surprise there, what surprized me is that my PC can run MTWII on max and yet can suffer on EB's campaign map.

[ciprianrusu]

So the sea is the real problem? If i'll revert to the vanilla version will it run smoother? COOOLLL!!!

[Jurdagat]

But the seas look absolutely wonderful like this!
Shame to get rid of it, if it does not severely ruin your gaming experience.

[Horst Nordfink]

I've noticed that the game runs a lot slower after I installed EB 1.0, but I didn't know it was the seas fault!

How do you revert to the vanilla sea?

[fj62]

The vanilla sea also makes my campaign map run smoother and quicker too...here's the link

[Megas Methuselah]

it said there was suppose to be a readme, but there wasn't... I'm not so good at searching around the files, so can anyone tell me how to make it work?

[Long lost Caesar]

when i clicked on the sea switch link it brought me to a page full of mumbo-jumbo text, looked like some kinda code. what am i supposed to do?

[Pobs]

use right mouse click and 'save as' to get the rar file....


cheers,


Pobs

It is not the seas, it is not the seas, it is not the seas. It is the script. We only offered the seas so that people would stop complaining.

You guys are loading the old seas and then zooming around the map before starting the script and thinking it is the greatest thing in the world. The new EB seas have the same specifications as the Vanilla seas, they just look different.

Start the script and then get back to me. Or better yet, show me your actual FPS with both seas and both before and after starting the script.

Is there a way to show the actual FPS?

[madmatg]

i will do just this, when i next play campaign, but there is definitely a difference. i played all night yesterday for about 4.5 hours and hardly any slowdown which has been happening after about 2 hours before.

He's deadright . I made the new sea textures myself and the size did not change what so ever because that is not possible. I only added more detail , contrast and color to the tga's of the campaign map. The files did not change in size. They just look far better overall .
What did change with 1.0 is the adding of more scriptlines to the script .

[madmatg]

i think i am seeing a bit of a descrepency in what we are talking about you EB guys are saying the fps shouldnt be any slower, and i agree. it doesnt change my game speed at the beginning. But it seems over time my game gets slower and slower. i dont know if that helps any, just thinkin

[Bellum]

That happens regardless. Probably a memory leak somewhere.

[madmatg]

but what im saying is without hte vanilla seas it has seemed to slow down slower than when i had the new seas

[MiniMe]

It is not the seas, it is not the seas, it is not the seas.

Definitely.
Ze only thing that does significantly slows my current 1.0 campaign is pathfinding for prolonged voyages of spies, diplomats or fleets, I guess

[mcantu]

I think it may be the grainier texture of the new seas that makes the animation look slower...

Whenever I try to extract it says

[blitzkrieg80]

the sea doesn't do anything for performance it's too bad

[madmatg]

well it is possible that i have tricked myself into believing it makes it faster, so dont shatter my sad fantasies!

I was logged in as administrator but I managed to do it by just extracting the file elsewhere and coping it manually

On a side I note, I at least have seen a noticable improvment in speed on the campaign map.

[Leão magno]

Had no problems with the new seas nor with the new skies, they are a little heavy indeed but I had not ctds from it and they are simply gourgeous
